For my 18th birthday I want to rent/hire a small yatch so me and my 5 friends can go to spain for a day or two and come back. We want a small, cheap yacht for a week.

First of all, does any of you have experience?
If not, most likely you can not even hire a yacht.
Even when you can, a small yacht is not capable of sailing across the ocean.
There are a lot of yachts being shipwrecked off the south coast of England each year, as inexperienced captains thought they could do it.
And on top of that, a week would get you to France, northern France at that, and back. No way near Spain.
If you want to have a sea adventure, go to one of the places where yachts are rented out with a crew and rent one of those, in Greece there are many, but I am sure there are more. The sea is no bathtub, every small craft is in danger without experienced crew, and in bad weather even with experienced crew.
